Zchunk was designed with the use-case of dnf repository metadata in mind. I put that line in the README to make sure that nobody used zchunk for unrelated projects until we'd stabilized the API by actually using it in librepo and friends (what dnf uses to actually download its metadata). In other words, this feature is driving zchunk's design rather than the other way around. And, since the patches to librepo all work and are in the review state right now, I expect that there will be few, if any, further changes to zchunk's API.
